Aids is a type of virus called a retrovirus!. Like all viruses, it must invade the cells of other organisms to survive and reproduce!. HIV multiplies in the human immune system's CD4+ T cells and kills vast numbers of the cells it infects!. The result is disease symptoms!.

Ok one important thing AIDS is not caused by homosexuals!. I don't know the exact origin but people have sex and contract aids, they can get it through blood transfusions if the blood they receive is infected, they can get it if they share used needles, or if a nurse pokes herself with an infected needle, you can get it from touching somebodies blood if you have a cut on you and it comes in contact with your cut!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
You cannot catch AIDS, it is impossible for that to happen!. AIDS is caused by the Human Immunodefficiency Virus (HIV)!. You have to have HIV in order to have an AIDS diagnosis!. AIDS stands for acquired immunodeficiency syndrome!. AIDS is the final stage of HIV infection!. It can take years for a person infected with HIV, even without treatment, to reach this stage!. Having AIDS means that the virus has weakened the immune system to the point at which the body has a difficult time fighting infections!. When someone has one or more of these infections and a low number of T cells, he or she has AIDS!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Humans get HIV from sexual contact, but also from blood to blood contact and mother to baby transmission as well!.
The virus we call HIV is an evolutionary branch of a bunch of viruses called Simian Immunodeficiency Viruses which infect primates!. Usually, each variety of SIVs only infects a one or a few species of primate!. But they are constantly mutating, and every now and again a mutant starts infecting a primate species it didn't infect before!.
Humans are a species of primate!.
The virus almost certainly crossed from non human primates to humans over through blood to blood transfer, maybe from a hunting accident!.
Actually, the virus has crossed over at least ten times: three times in the case of HIV1 (the usual cause of AIDS which has three subtypes M, N and O) and at least seven times in the case of HIV2!.
The HIV1 subtype M crossover has resulted in most HIV infections and AIDS cases in people today worldwide!. It probably happened in the first couple of decades of the 20th century in Southeastern Cameroon, and the natural reservoir of this strain is a particular group of chimpanzees living in that area!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.

AIDS starts with a person becoming infected with HIV!. People use the acronyms HIV and AIDS like they are one and the same, HIV infection can lead to a person having AIDS, but not always!.
HIV attacks the immune system in a persons body and as the virus replicates with in a persons body the body tried to fight it off!. This creates what is called a viral load!. This can become a very high number as the virus is replicating within the body!. With a combination of medications (the cocktail) the viral load can be controlled and can get so low it is what is called undetectable!. This does not mean the person is "cured", it just means that there is a much smaller amount of the virus in the body!.
As the virus "works" with in the body it destroys T-cells, when the T-cells count drops below 200 the infected person has a diagnosis of AIDS!. There can also be an AIDS diagnosis if there are a lot of opportunistic infection for the infected person, but usually it is based on the T-cell count!.
With that being said, if a person has unprotected vaginal or anal sex with a person who is HIV+ there is a risk of becoming infected with the virus!. Another risk is sharing needle for injectable drugs that have not been properly cleaned!. There are a lot of factors if a person become infected or not, the health of the negative partner, if there is a STD there the negative partner has a much greater risk of being infected with HIV!. The viraal load of the HIV+ person also is a factor if the negative person becomes infected or not!.
The real thing to consider is there are a lot of people out there that are HIV+ and because there usually are no major signs of infection others are becoming infected!. Not necessarly on purpose, but because some people do not feel they are at risk for HIV and have never been tested!. So everyone who is sexually active needs to be tested for HIV, once a year is always a good idea!. The other consideration is unless you are in a monogomus relationship where both partners have been tested, used condoms for 3 months and then retested, you need to look at all sex partners as someone who could infect you!. So use protection, be safe!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
